No walls or fences mark where Canada and the United States come together here, just a cleared space through forests and prairie. Right on the border is Emerson Manitoba, a town of just over 600 people. Some illegal crossers walk into town through open fields while others follow the railroad tracks. A few enter Canada by swimming north in the Red River.

加拿大和美国的交界处,没有围墙和栅栏,只有一片明显的区域作为分隔,这片区域穿越了森林和草原。埃默森马尼托巴恰好在边界上,这是一座小镇,镇上只有600人。有一些非法越境者通过开阔的田地进入这个小镇,有一些人是沿着铁轨入境的,还有一些人是从红河向北游从而进入加拿大的。

Most of the year, the biggest barrier to reaching Emerson from the United States is the weather. Often times, what we’ve seen in the last few years is they pick the worst possible weather, and when you talk about the worst possible weather in North Dakota, it’s 35, 40 below zero. It’s a 60 mile an hour wind and so frostbite, hypothermia is very significant risk.

一年中的大多数时候,从美国抵达埃默森的最大障碍就是天气。通常情况下,我们在过去几年间注意到,他们都是选择最差的天气。而北达科他州最坏的天气,一般都是零下35-40°,风速达每小时六十英里,因此是极有可能冻伤或得低体温症的。

Even so, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police say about a thousand people illegally crossed into Canada at Emerson in 2017, but fewer than 500 had arrived by late December of 2018. We arrest them for illegally entering in Canada and taking them into our custody1.

即便如此,加拿大皇家骑警表示,大概还是有1000人在2017年非法从埃默森进入了加拿大,但2018年12月末的时候,只有不到500人抵达。我们逮捕了他们,理由是非法入境加拿大,并对他们实施了拘留。

Police transfer asylum2-seekers to the Canadian Border Services Agency. Then they’re transported to Manitoba’s capital Winnipeg, many by a social services agency, the Manitoba interfaith immigration Council. Its welcome place offers newcomers a range of services.

警方将这些寻求庇护的人转移到了加拿大边境服务局,然后又转移到了马尼托巴省的首府温尼伯,其中许多人是通过社会服务机构马尼托巴跨宗教移民委员会送来的。这是招待新来者的地方,可以为他们提供一系列服务。

One asylum seeker is Somali Isaack Magoya face deportation3 from the United States, so he left for Winnipeg where he received help at the welcome place but he aches to be reunited with the family he had to leave behind in the US.

其中一位庇护寻找者是索马里的艾萨克·马戈亚,他面临着被美国驱逐出境的风险。所以他离开美国去往温尼伯。在温尼伯,他在接待处受到了帮助,但他一想到被自己留在美国的家人与自己骨肉分离时就感到心痛。

And they’re also the Winnipeg 700,000 people include more than 1,700 Somalis. They number more than 65,000 nationwide while Manitoba’s cold climate is the opposite of their homelands. The freedoms and opportunities afforded in Canada serve as a powerful magnet for Somalis and other East Africans and they’ll walk through blizzards4 to reach it.

除了我的家人外,还有70万人滞留在温尼伯,其中包括1700多名索马里人。他们在全国的数量超过了6.5万,而马尼托巴寒冷的气候与他们家乡的气候截然相反。加拿大的自由和丰富的机会对索马里人和其他中非地区的人极富吸引力,所以即便冒着暴风雪,他们也要抵达那里。
